Let’s zoom out for a second: Why AI Co-Pilots at all? While there are many quick wins like browser plugins for lead gen, data extraction, CRM workflows, content creation, and more, recent developments in AI allow us to go deeper than ever before. LLM-driven Co-Pilots can handle more complex tasks that can be chained together, i.e. a sequence of tasks that comprises a full work package. Extremely powerful and with almost zero effort. The problem is just that we don’t know what’s already out there.

In the absence of a GPT Store, I created BrowseGPTs and asked you all for input to assemble the most comprehensive library of AI agents and Customized GPTs (not sure what this is? difference to ChatGPT unclear? check this out). The full list comprises 100+ GPTs, but only few provide actual value. I’ve spent nights & weekends testing them and collected feedback from a broad range of founders & operators - so you don’t need to.
